The importance of home court advantage in the playoffs to reach the Final Four

Real Madrid has participated in nine EuroLeague playoffs with home court advantage and has successfully qualified for the Final Four in all of them. Playing at home is synonymous with success for our team, which will aim to continue this winning streak in their matchup against Hapoel Tel Aviv, starting on Wednesday at the Movistar Arena (8:45 pm CEST).

They have defeated Maccabi twice, both by 3-0 (2012-13 and 2021-22), and Valencia Basket (3-2 in 2010-11), Olympiacos (3-2 in 2013-14), Anadolu Efes (3-1 in 2014-15), Darussafaka (3-1 in 2016-17), Panathinaikos (3-0 in 2018-19), Partizan (3-2 in 2022-23), and Baskonia (3-0 in 2024-25). The historic comeback against Partizan in the fifth game of the playoff, overturning a 0-2 deficit, remains unforgettable for madridistas.
